GAMMAINV (percentiles of the gamma distribution)

Note: GAMMAINV is supplemented by the new identical function GAMMA.INV, which is available in newer versions of Microsoft Excel (2010 or later).

Syntax:

GAMMAINV(Probability, Alpha, Beta)

Description:

This returns the percentiles of the gamma distribution.

Probability is the given probability from the gamma distribution. The values must be within the range 0 to 1.

Alpha and Beta are shape parameters of the function. They both have to be greater than zero.

Note:

The result of this function is calculated using an iteration method. If, after 100 iterations, PlanMaker does not find a result that deviates less than ±3x10^-7 from Probability, it displays the error value #N/A and cancels the approximation.
